Uses of LAN-15 Capsule

The detailed uses of LAN-15 Capsule are as follows:<br/>• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): LAN-15 Capsule helps reduce acid reflux symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest discomfort by lowering stomach acid production.

It helps control acid output and prevents complications like ulcers and bleeding.<br/>• NSAID-Induced Gastric Ulcers: LAN-15 Capsule is used to prevent or treat ulcers caused by long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), especially in children who require pain management for chronic conditions.<br/>• Stress Ulcers and Acid-Related Indigestion: LAN-15 Capsule can be used in hospitalized or critically ill children to prevent stress-related mucosal damage and reduce symptoms like bloating, nausea, and upper abdominal pain.<br/>
